As of May 19, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has distributed P97.95 billion in Social Amelioration Program (SAP) cash subsidies to over 17.33 million low-income families, representing 96.33 percent of the 18 million families targeted for the first tranche.
Of the total beneficiaries, 1,232 local government units (LGUs) recorded a 100-percent completion rate in SAP distribution.
365 LGUs have submitted their complete liquidation reports, while 65 are in the process of completing them.
The DSWD expects faster distribution of the second SAP tranche with the launch of the ReliefAgad mobile application.
The ReliefAgad app, supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its E-PESO project, will expedite the capturing of beneficiary details and facilitate electronic payments.
